I think I forgot to show you this table topper.Ellie’s Surprise is from the book Pinwheel Pandemonium by Peggy Waltman of Hopskotch Quilting.In the book, the pattern is for a larger size quilt.I was not into cutting and sewing all those various colors for the blades of the pinwheel.However, I did want to try this pattern and decided on a table topper.I love the 30’s fabrics and the feeling of springtime it gives to my table.Do not look too closely at the quilting.I started out randomly placing leaves then, after I was finished, I decided I needed to add more quilting. Fortunately, it is not intended as a gift!

I also forgot to show you this lovely quilt/wall hanging.It is the pattern that Chris at the Attic Window Quilt Shop uses for her beginning quilt class.Watch for her beginning quilt classes in the next newsletter.

This is a close up of one of the blocks.Isn’t it darling! What a lovely baby gift this would make!

I love making mug rugs.They are quick and easy and a great way to try a new quilt pattern or technique, or even try some liberated quilting.Check out the Two More Seconds blog.Scroll down and you will find links to a number of tutorials for making mug rugs.
